DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] Embodiment one:
[0029] Please refer to Figures 2-4 The embodiment is a wedge sealing lining ball valve 100, which comprises a valve body assembly 1, a rod ball assembly 2 installed inside the valve body assembly 1, and a valve seat 3 installed between the valve body assembly 1 and the rod ball assembly 2 to realize gap sealing. The rod ball assembly 2 comprises an integrally formed valve stem assembly 21 and a ball assembly 22. The upper end of the valve body assembly 1 is provided with a wedge-shaped packing installation part 11. The valve stem assembly 21 is provided with a wedge-shaped contact sealing part 23 at a position corresponding to the packing installation part 11. The packing installation part 11 and the contact sealing part 23 surround a wedge-shaped packing cavity 4. The wedge-shaped packing cavity 4 is provided with a wedge-shaped packing 5 to realize gap sealing between the valve body assembly 1 and the valve stem assembly 21.
[0030] The valve body assembly 1 comprises a valve body and a bushing covering the inner cavity of the valve body and conforming to the inner wall of the valve body. The rod ball assembly 2 comprises a rod ball and a rubber layer covering the surface of the rod ball and conforming to the surface of the rod ball. Correspondingly, the valve stem assembly 21 comprises a valve stem and a first rubber layer covering the outer periphery of the lower part of the shaft segment of the valve stem and conforming to the outer wall of the valve stem. The ball assembly 22 comprises a ball and a second rubber layer covering the outer surface of the ball and the inner cavity wall of the ball. Since the bushing conforms to the inner wall of the valve body 1, the bushing and the valve body 1 form an integral structure, and the rubber layer conforms to the surface of the rod ball and forms an integral structure with the rod ball. Therefore, in this embodiment, the valve body assembly 1 refers to the valve body covered with the bushing, the outer shape structure of the bushing conforms to the outer shape structure of the inner wall of the valve body; the rod ball assembly refers to the rod ball covered with the rubber layer, the outer shape structure of the rubber layer conforms to the outer shape structure of the surface of the rod ball, the valve stem assembly refers to the valve stem covered with the first rubber layer, and the ball assembly refers to the ball covered with the second rubber layer.
[0031] The packing installation part 11 comprises a first section 111 at the upper end, a wedge-shaped section 112 at the middle, and a second section 113 at the lower end, the inner surfaces of the first section 111 and the second section 113 are vertically extending arc surfaces, the distance from the inner surface of the first section 111 to the central axis of the valve stem assembly 21 is greater than the distance from the inner surface of the second section 113 to the central axis of the valve stem assembly 21, the wedge-shaped section 112 extends from the bottom of the first section 111 to the upper end of the second section 113, so that the inner side of the wedge-shaped section 112 presents an open structure with a large upper end and a small lower end. The cross sections of the first section 111, the wedge-shaped section 112, and the second section 113 near the inner side surface of the valve stem assembly 21 are all straight lines, which is simple in structure and convenient for processing.
[0032] The contact sealing part 23 comprises a sealing part 231 at the upper end and a positioning part 232 at the lower end, the diameter of the sealing part 231 gradually increases from the upper end to the lower end, that is, it presents a wedge-shaped structure; the positioning part 232 vertically extends downward from the bottom of the sealing part 231, and the diameter of the positioning part 232 is consistent with the diameter of the bottom of the sealing part 231.
[0033] The wedge-shaped packing cavity 4 has a wedge-shaped packing installation part 11 on one side and a wedge-shaped contact sealing part 23 on the other side, the wedge-shaped packing 5 is shaped according to the wedge-shaped packing cavity 4, is filled in the wedge-shaped packing cavity 4, presents a ring structure and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the valve stem assembly 21, realizes the gap sealing between the valve body assembly 1 and the valve stem assembly 21, and the material of the wedge-shaped packing 5 is PTFE, which has the characteristics of corrosion resistance.
[0034] The wedge-shaped packing 5 includes a wedge-shaped seal 51 achieving sealing at the upper end and an auxiliary positioning member 52 preventing the valve stem assembly 21 from tilting at the lower end. One side of the wedge-shaped seal 51 is in contact with the inner surface of the wedge-shaped section 112 for sealing, and the other side is in contact with the outer surface of the sealing portion 231 for sealing. One side of the auxiliary positioning member 52 is in contact with the inner surface of the second section 113 for positioning, and the other side is in contact with the outer surface of the positioning portion 232 for positioning. The outer diameter and the inner diameter of the wedge-shaped seal 51 gradually decrease from top to bottom, but the rate of decrease of the outer diameter is greater than that of the inner diameter. The auxiliary positioning member 52 extends vertically downward from the bottom of the wedge-shaped seal 51, and the inner and outer diameters of the auxiliary positioning member 52 are consistent with those of the bottom of the wedge-shaped seal 51, so that the wedge-shaped packing 5 has a wedge-shaped structure with a large upper end and a small lower end. When the wedge-shaped packing 5 is located in the wedge-shaped packing cavity 4, even if the second section 113 at the lower end of the valve body assembly 1 is a vertical arc surface structure, the wedge-shaped packing 5 will not fall in the wedge-shaped packing cavity 4 without the protruding support portion 201 on the valve body in the prior art to support the wedge-shaped packing 5, and the structure of the valve body assembly 1 can be simplified. The inner and outer surfaces of the wedge-shaped seal 51 are wedge-shaped structures. The wedge-shaped seal 51 and the wedge-shaped section 112 on the outside and the sealing portion 231 on the inside are all wedge-shaped structures. The sealing of the wedge-shaped packing 5 is achieved through the wedge-shaped structure, the deformation stress of the wedge-shaped packing 5 is reduced, and the cold flow and wear of the wedge-shaped packing 5 are reduced. Moreover, after the ball valve is opened and closed for a long time, the wedge-shaped packing 5 will be worn, and the wedge-shaped packing 5 will be lowered after being worn. The wedge-shaped packing 5 is always in contact with the wedge-shaped section 112 on the outside and the sealing portion 231 on the inside for sealing, which can improve the sealing effect. Therefore, the design of the present scheme not only simplifies the structure of the valve body assembly 1, but also improves the sealing effect between the valve body assembly 1 and the valve stem assembly 21.
[0035] The auxiliary positioning member 52 extends vertically downward from the bottom of the wedge-shaped seal 51, and the inner surfaces of the second sections 113 on both sides of the auxiliary positioning member 52 and the outer surfaces of the positioning portions 232 are also vertically extended. Therefore, the inner and outer surfaces of the auxiliary positioning member 52 are parallel to the central axis of the valve stem assembly 21, and correspondingly, the inner surfaces of the second sections 113 and the outer surfaces of the positioning portions 232 are also parallel to the central axis of the valve stem assembly 21. When the auxiliary positioning member 52 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the valve stem assembly 21, an annular positioning structure is added between the valve stem assembly 21 and the valve body assembly 1, which can avoid the problem of invalidation of the wedge-shaped packing 5 caused by the tilting of the valve stem assembly 21 during the opening and closing of the ball valve, and improve the sealing effect and the service life of the ball valve.
[0036] The annular groove 53 is arranged at the connection between the wedge-shaped sealing element 51 and the auxiliary positioning element 52, and can reduce stress concentration at the connection. In the initial state, the annular groove 53 is located on the wedge-shaped sealing element 51, and as the wedge-shaped packing 5 wears, the wedge-shaped packing 5 will descend, so that the annular groove 53 descends. When the annular groove 53 is located at the connection between the wedge-shaped sealing element 51 and the auxiliary positioning element 52, although the connection is an annular connection, the annular groove 53 arranged in cooperation with the annular connection can reduce stress concentration at the connection.
[0037] The wedge-shaped packing 5 is arranged above the packing pressing ring 6, the lower end of the packing pressing ring 6 is clamped into the wedge-shaped packing cavity 4 to press the wedge-shaped packing 5, and the upper end of the packing pressing ring 6 extends out of the wedge-shaped packing cavity 4 and is located at the upper end of the valve body assembly 1. The upper end of the packing pressing ring 6 is arranged at the upper end of the valve body assembly 1 through the stud 7, the stud 7 penetrates through the packing pressing ring 6 and the valve body assembly 1, and the packing pressing ring 6 and the valve body assembly 1 are fixed and installed by tightening the stud. The portion of the stud 7 outside the packing pressing ring 6 and on the upper surface of the packing pressing ring 6 is sleeved with the disc spring set 8, and the disc spring set 8 is in a compressed state when the stud 7 is locked. When the wedge-shaped packing 5 wears, the disc spring set 8 can provide a pre-tightening force to press the packing pressing ring 6, and the packing pressing ring 6 will press the wedge-shaped packing 5 to ensure the sealing between the valve stem assembly 21 and the wedge-shaped packing 5. Therefore, the disc spring set 8 arranged can further improve the sealing performance of the ball valve.
[0038] In the embodiment, the disc spring set 8 is obtained by combining disc springs in different combinations such as superposition, matching and compounding. The installation mode of the disc spring set can be determined according to the wear amount of the wedge-shaped packing 5 of different specifications under the same switching frequency and internal pressure, so as to prevent external leakage of the valve stem.
[0039] In other embodiments, the wedge-shaped cooperation structure of the wedge-shaped packing 5 and the valve stem and the valve body can be applied to other valves, and is not limited to the lined ball valve.
[0040] The above only describes some embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present application, and these modifications and improvements are within the protection scope of the present application.
